ID4me is an internet service that enables its users to log in to many different internet services with one account. This is also known as "single sign on".

Unlike existing global single sign on solutions like the ones from Google or Facebook, ID4me does not track and analyze the internet surfing habits of its users. ID4me will make sure that the surfing habits stay secret.

Also, ID4me does not belong to an enterprise. It is an open standard that is maintained by a nonprofit organization. Anyone who wants to can participate. This way the users can chose freely between different ID4me providers and can also change the provider anytime.

North Korea's Kim Jong Un Weighs In on the Apple vs. Android Debate

North Korea is being closely watched for conducting nuclear missile testing. Is the country preparing for an attack against the U.S.? Who knows. What we do know is where North Korea's glorious leader, Kim Jong Un, stands on the whole iPhone vs. Android debate. And if this photo is real, Un's an Android dude.

The photo, originally published in China Times, shows Kim Jong Un sitting in a meeting with the hot HTC Butterfly smartphone. This choice makes sense, given North Korea's tension with Samsung's home turf South Korea. HTC, made in Taiwan, seems to be a safer bet. It doesn't have the same connotation as an iPhone – ie, a Western product – and it won't get anyone in Soeul excited about resuming peace talks. That said, Taiwan and China relations are tense, and China is North Korea's only real ally. Oh well, c'est la vie. "I guess this means Kim Jong Un doesn't care about expandable storage or removable batteries!" – every Android fan ever.

It's also worth noting that the vast majority of North Korean citizens have no access to smartphones, or Internet, making any smartphone sighting in the country notable. Here's hoping this is the most interesting news we'll read about in the country over the next year.
